Tropical Storm Gamma Forms Near Honduras

MIAMI - Tropical Storm Gamma — the 24th storm of the busiest hurricane season on record — formed on Friday off the coast of Central America, and forecasters said it could threaten Florida by the beginning of next week, perhaps as a hurricane.

Tropical storm warnings were issued for the coast of Belize and the Bay Islands of Honduras. Mexico issued a tropical storm watch for the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, which was hit hard in October by Hurricane Wilma. Six to 15 inches of rain were possible.

The long-term track from the National Hurricane Center indicated that Gamma may take a path similar to Wilma's and head northeast toward the Florida Peninsula. Wilma sliced across the southern portion of the state Oct. 24, causing widespread power outages and more than 20 deaths.

At 4 p.m. EST, Gamma had winds of 40 mph and was about 40 miles north of Limon, Honduras, moving erratically toward the northwest at about 5 mph.

There have been so many storms this year that forecasters exhausted the alphabetical list of names and began naming storms after letters of the Greek alphabet.

o.k. Cool

sorry, sometimes on here it's hard to tell what ppl really mean. You can miss one word and it means totally something different. I didn't want to jump your ass if you were meaning something else. And I certainly didn't want to laugh and joke if I needed to jump your ass

but seriously..I dont' get it. I thought the season was over

Poor Gamma... she just hasn't been herself since Gampa died.

Seriously though, I hope Alex and everyone else stays safe.
